When you’re ready to improve your crusher’s performance, get the facts first.
On-site crusher wear studies by Columbia Steel take the guesswork out of cone liner and jaw plate choices, benefiting your operation with better production and less downtime. | |
A Columbia wear study on your crusher can answer the question, “Are you using the right wear parts?” Our district managers and engineers begin by collecting real-world data on your equipment – feed and discharge information, throughput rates, change out records, and measurements on worn parts.

You’ll then receive recommendations for parts best suited to your specific situation. Columbia Steel is a replacement wear parts specialist, with over a century of engineering and manufacturing expertise. Our full-service facility is your one stop for crusher wear part solutions, from design and pattern making, to alloy selection and casting. The right design can make a big difference. Crusher OEMs generally offer a limited choice of wear part designs, and these are usually based on average conditions. But few crusher operators work under “average” conditions! The right cone liners or jaw plates can mean: - Improved production
- More accurate product sizing
- Better wear metal utilization and lower discard weight
- Longer wear part life
- Lower overall operating costs They can recommend alloys that make a difference, as well. Columbia Steel’s Xtralloy® premium manganese steel is a great cost-effective choice for many hard rock crushing applications. Solutions for jaw crushers They offer a wide variety of wear part improvements for virtually every popular jaw crusher. Among their jaw options are curved, smooth, and corrugated designs. More specialized recommendations for their customers have included toothed jaws with smooth ends; concave/convex jaw combinations; and their “slab breaker jaws” with alternating extra high teeth, a popular choice for concrete and asphalt recyclers.

Solutions for cone crushers Based on wear study results, Columbia Steel will help you pick from many bowl liner and mantle combinations for more efficient crushing, whether you’re running a stationary or portable operation. For example, hundreds of their customers have improved their cone crusher performance with their IFOR, or “Increased Feed Opening Relief” bowl liners. By designing feed opening relief areas into their parts, Columbia engineers provided a solution that allows operators to handle top size material while reducing skidding, maximizing throughput, reducing blockage, and maintaining feed openings as their liners wear.
